To extend the life of your product, we recommend continuous use of HOLs natural, nourishing and protective Tjärskofett – a shoe polish of locally produced beeswax, tar and beef tallow, added olive oil from the Othman’s family plantation in Bou Merdes.

Working with leather as a still life study in itself, conserving hides from animals sacrificed to the food industry, the consistently small volumes of HOLs KRAV labelled and vegetable tanned materials will age naturally, develop a beautiful patina and last for as long as proper care and maintenance goes. Nothing is eternal, but HOL is as a crucial part of the design concept, providing the owner of each numbered item from the limited edition series with custom shoe repair. Visible mending, adapting pitched linen stitches, wooden pegs and water based glue – all extracted in the local area – as a frugal statement, your shoes’ life cycle thereby begins when placing an order and develops towards their own unique ageing with dignity.
